I don't recall the last day that went by without having to wait for a
train that was at least 5 minutes late or watching a train that was at
least five minutes late pull into the platform beside me. The pick of
the month has been a train leaving Hursvtille 8 minutes late and
arriving at Sydney Terminal 26 minutes late. Yes, it was a signal
failure(s) but that still causes a disruption to on time running. Even
on days with no major problems like signal failures and alike trains
still run late.

BTW: I thought the 'on time' threshold was 2 minutes, not 3.
